We Ain’t Got No History: Chelsea Driving Supporters To Drink

We Ain't Got No History's Graham MacAree had the right response Sunday morning when he confessed his Blues were driving him "to the drink." Note that Graham lives in the Pacific time zone, meaning his favorite club had inflicted so much trauma on his supporting heart that the hard alcohol was administered around 9:30 a.m. (perhaps precipitating this comment, something every Chelsea fan felt long before Ashley Cole's pass found Danny Welbeck).

After a day’s reflection, Graham has collected his thoughts, reactions which center around injuries, (lack of) midfield, and perspective:

Josh McEachran needs a chance. Yuri Zhirkov has done pretty well in central midfield but is clearly playing out of position. Ramires has been a disaster. It's time to figure out what the kids can do, and from what we've seen so far, they can do a lot.

We're still top of the league. We've been in first place since the start of the season and despite a pitiful week or so are still in an enviable position. So as embarrassing as being slaughtered at home by Sunderland is, all is not lost*.

*Unless Ancelotti keeps playing Ramires. Yikes.
